Monster Cookie Bars

 

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 pkgs. baking chips (I used what I had in the cupboard - 1/4 pkg. peanut butter chips, 1/4 pkg. cherry chips, 1/4 pkg. white chocolate chips and 1/4 pkg. dark chocolate chips)
• Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan. 
2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. 
3. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. 
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. 
5. Slowly beat flour mixture into butter mixture. 
6. Stir in chips (and nuts).
7. Spread into prepared pan. 
8. Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Note: I baked mine for 13 minutes and felt it was a bit over baked for my liking.
